The DICE Summit just had its first surprise new game reveal thanks to Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello. In a speech made at the currently running Las Vegas event, Riccitiello stated that a new version of their 2000 action game American McGee's Alice would be released for the PC and consoles.

The original 2000 game was released just for the PC and had former id Software designer American McGee leading a team at Rogue Entertainment to create a warped version of the original children's book. However the game itself didn't sell that well and a planned console version of the game was canceled by EA. That decision lead to the shut down of Dallas-based Rogue soon afterward.

Update: EA has now issued their official press release for the game and American McGee's development studio Spicy Horse has posted up what looks like a concept image from the game (reproduced here) on their site. They also state the title for the game is currently "the Return of American McGee's Alice."
